Hello!I am having difficulties with this too. I use Windows XP Home, together with a Belkin USB network adapter and I can only see wireless network if I log in as an administrator. After have logged in to an administrator account I can log out and then log in to a restricted account, then the network adapter connects automatically. If I log in to a restricted account from start (after restarting computer!) I cannot connect at all, not even manually, since I cant see any wireless network at all!Greatful for solutions!
